Your game is full of hackers and modders
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. This game is minimizable and crossplatform meaning people who are playing on pc or phones are using third party apps. No one can prove it and only you can I’m not putting a single cent into this game until it’s fixed. In reality which this is no one is allowed to cheat. So why am I being dealt this problem on a daily basis? In tournaments they would be banned for life for committing to those actions, mind you in reality people do cheat but that is the circumstances they’d be dealt with. You cant say there isn’t cheaters because I’ve been dealt with many different problems that do reoccur. Duplicated cards at hand as soon as the timer fuse runs down even a mm. Cards that could have been played earlier on in the game “but they decided not to” like cmon man. That’s not even the beginning. There are players destroying cards without using destroy card abilities or exile abilities. There are players making me skip my turns without even using time warp cards. There are players cheating you can’t say that doesn’t sound fishy. Because when in reality I could play the same decks as them and I’d never get those kind of hands maybe .0004% of the time I would but it’s not every game like most of these so called “lucky” players get. **** I’ve even come across a couple people using the same deck as me LURRUS companion and using cards that are waaaaaaaaaaay over 2 cmc and bringing them back to the field like cmon if that isn’t enough proof for you to check into the servers and fix the root of everyone’s problem then I’m gonna quit. Well wouldnt that be a waste of 200$ I put into the game just he move an inch up the ladder. Like I know there are a lot of good players out but I could pick and see who the real players are to these cheaters who claim to be “competitive” like the players who actually put a pretty penny into the game. I love this game I’ve played it since I was a kid don’t let these players ruin it for others because I’ve had 4 friends who quit already because of it. And people claim it’s algorithm when clearly it’s not. Those are the very people that claim people aren’t cheating in the game and they say “git gud” like I’m 2-3 weeks into the game I’m new as **** to this app but I put money down to get the cards I need to win the games legitimately. Makes me wonder if half these players who do cheat put anything into the contribution of Mtga growth. I don’t wanna have to deal with this every game. The reason I put this into bugs is because this bugs the **** out of me when I do everything to get to where I am in the games ranking for historic. Oh and for your information lurrus can only be used if people have non land permanent cards that are 2cmc or lower. This alone proves that players are cheating to gain ranks. Please don’t get rid of lurrus either I just spent nearly 200$ to create my lurrus deck.

Here you go. Proof the game cheats you out of winsjust because it has to maintain a win ratio..
I have a few legendaries in my graveyard, captain, helm of host, sarahs wings, circle of loyalty. All tools to give me life gain haste first strike etc.
In the pictures below you can CLEARLY see I've got more than enough mana and the turn is currently on the phase before declaring attackers on my turn so I should be able to cast prime-evils glorious rebirth causing every legendary to return to the board, which would allow me the win.
Especially since I've kept being red agro damaged this whole game and I've clearly got legendaries in my graveyard.
Oh would you look at that, no blue border around the card. No matter what I do on my turn to cast the spells and the opponent doesn't have a card to prevent me from casting spells and they didn't cast anything too prevent me this turn.
It just won't cast, hmmm.. interesting. It's like I'm required to lose no matter what?

The game isn't designed to be fair, it's not even designed to be normal. It's quite literally designed like a slot machine.
It's a video game version to keep people playing and become addicted so you spend money on it, hoping to win. They design this game to maximize you spending money. And you can bet your sweet cheeks it's revolved around making you feel like you have to spend real cash to compete.
Anyone with a brain who is intelligent understands the best way to beat these cretins of disgraceful greedy human beings at WOTC is don't play. Don't spend a dime, or even play. PERIOD!
Because they don't care if you as a single person don't spend a dime. Because you'll be the meat to feed into their "whale" purchasers on their digital slot machine they've created to cash cow stupid people out of their hard earned money.
Their whales drop lots of cash, and you end up being the loser who gives their customers the few wins they need to keep those walking derp wallets coming back and spending more.
Stick to paper magic, get some friends to play with. They can't rig that like a slot machine at least, and you can have REAL fun doing it because you aren't being manipulated to part ways with more cash by forcing wins and losses.
And come on WOTC, you really think intelligent people don't know you are manipulating every aspect to maximize purchases in your micro-transaction gambling store?

Absolutely agree. Just played a game where I had 1 Etching of Kumano and 1 squee dubious monarch(just played). They had 1 creature that had made a blood token last turn. I prepare for attack, I play Archon's glory on Squee sacrificing Kumano. He sacrifices a blood token to draw a card. Arcon's glory doesn't go off. not a counter spell, negate ability, nothing, it just doesn't go off. So Squee dies to his 1 creature somehow (Squee was supposed to have flying and lifelink). I was supposed to do 4 damage to his face and gain 4 life.

COME SUBSCRIBE TO ME GUYS, I'm building a case against Arena, because its obvious cheating, I have so much proof in my videos and pics.

I've also noticed more lately someone will be sitting there, for 20-30 seconds, and keep looking at their cards and their hands then magically after 30 seconds they have a card they need or a kill spell. I would not put it past mod cheats or Wizards paying employees to cheat to force people into more spending, now that one I'm less likely to believe because a whistle blower would end them.

Intoxable#90896 commented
Oh I guarantee you its rigged vs single players, especially if you pay a lot to play.

Im on a journey to prove it. Once you hit platinum they make sure you lose 75% of your games so you keep paying to play.
This also explains why you are not allowed to talk to opponents or check your library when game is over, or look at your opponents draft list ( which both are legal, outside a match)

I've been seeing. Lot more blatant cheating lately. Before it was more like hmm he takes super long to get just the right card multiple times kinda cheating. But now it's 4 turns Somehow get 9 mana or putting a card down without the right amount of mana. It's kinda ridiculous.

I just had my first obvious cheater. His name was WALDO.
With no mana bonus, he puts down Howlpack Piper with only 3 mana available to him. I play a spell on my turn to maintain "Day". At the end of my turn it suddenly becomes night, the Piper transforms, and he's able to toss Ojer Taq on the table for free.
On his 4th turn he casts Furnace Host Charger (a 6 cost, while he has only 4 mana). I'm still frantically searching for what triggered night (confirm that nothing did, and spells were played by both sides every turn). He attacks with all 3 creatures, and I have only 6 health left.
I choose to block and kill all but the Charger, which should leave me 1 life and leave him only the charger and 4 lands on the table. The charger somehow reduces my health to 0. I lose.
Again, there are NO modifiers in play for any of the 4 turns the game lasted. I only wish I had recorded it. -

Played 3 matches tonight with cheaters. Server lags are a tell tale sign. First match on turn 3 , had a 22 moss pit skeleton played on turn 2 buffed to 33 by 22 death baron . Dude plays spitful banditry for 3 itsa 2 red x meaning he could only do 1 damage to each creature. Some how it clears my board? Ive had cards appearing on the battlefeild played for no mana.ect. it always tied with cards that seem to be tweaked as well like the example above. At least make reporting easier and add a record match button for mobil.

In MTG sactioned tourments there are many cases of cheaters what more to an Online game where there are no Judges keeping an eye on the game. Play it for free and only spend on the real cards for a real game of magic. Your time wasted playing the game is already a steep price you pay.

I come across it in casual play but its much more annoying in the the supposedly serious game matches that require gold investments.
Cards without vigilance playing as though it had vigilance,
Cards coming into play without haste and playing as though they have haste. -
JuzamDjinn#23862 commented
i faced opponents which are switching cards in their hands to get the perfect card to shut your deck or majority of making their totaly unexpected move to happend i experienced this more then 5 times in MTG arena in timeless also in historic. today the 22 of january i faced an opponent which name is "island#76692" he is the first i can mention here as a suspect of major cheater.

i dont like the fact that i will be playing someone, beating them pretty soundly, next thing you know they are letting their timer run as though they had quit, only to show back up at the last second and play all the cards they needed to win, if thats not a dead give away that people are hacking into the system to pull the cards they need, i think its why their timer runs down as its taking them that long to get into the programming and change the cards currently in their hand

Most anecdotes of “cheating” on here are people who don’t understand how to play the game.

RyuuRage#14731 commented
@Shan#16385 well Illunia only looks for permanents, so maybe Omniscience was the only other permanent in their deck? It’s not that hard to understand.

@Gradius9989#54610 if you close the game and re open it that should be fixed.
